My Warm Family

By: Shukri

My family living at Bangpu -slum community- Yaring district, Pattani province, has got nine members. Two great respected persons are father and mother; they brought up us with great care and love. I have got five younger brothers and one single sister, I am the oldest named Masukree but my parents always call me as Abae Yee. To live with many people in dissimilar appearance and physical body in one house I can conclude that each person has their own characteristics and style of dressing.

Previously, I will begin with my great father who is middle-hight. He has got short and black hair and always wears vest or Polo shirt and slack who is a very hardworking person. He often leaves the home for work as early morning but he reaches home about half past five. My beloved mother who I mostly discuss with when I have some problems or need help is uncomplicated and kind person. She is medium-hight and long black hair. She does all the house chores and before cooking for dinner she seldom asks me about menu to be cooked. I started practice cooking with my mum when I was 13 years old and now I can make them instead of her almost all menu that she can when I have free time, what I feel is a great pleasure feeling.

Something concerning electronic and machine are most preferable activities for my first younger brother, nearly 18 years old. He is taller but thinner than me. He always put on old jeans and shirt while panting houses during term ending. Due to his studying in relation to electronic field, he can fix many things such as TV, washing machine, iron, mobile phone, etc. The one who is always talkative and talks loudly is Abd.Hafiz, 14 years old being the tallest one in the home. He is well-build body and has white skin. He is extrovert person talking to all people in different ages. Diligence is his manner but he always complains to other before doing something. He is simply wearing such a loose vest and any color of slack. The third and forth younger brothers have almost the same appearance and characteristics. They have dark skin and thin shape. They are hardworking children at home and hard studying at school. Mu’minah is only my single younger sister, 3 years old, who is smart eating. She likes hot spicy taste as same as my mother and I. What she need has to be given, if not she will cry. The smallest one is Muttaqeen whose shape as fat as mine when I was a baby.

All in all, our family days are Fridays and Saturdays, as all members stay at home and do talk and housework together. Helping my parents’ work always hand in hand in family members.
